The sell-off in commodities

Goodbye to all that

A decade of bingeing on raw materials may leave an even longer hangover 

When he asked Congress in June for the power to seize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Treasury Secretary said that "if you've got a bazooka, and people know you've got it, you may not have to take it out."

Well, Mr. Paulson pulled the trigger last weekend, putting the two mortgage giants under government control. And Andrew Ross Sorkin, writing in his DealBook column in The New York Times, suggests his bazooka was a kind of self-fulfulling prophecy.

US Military Dictionary: bazooka

n. a short-range tubular rocket launcher used against tanks.


一名士兵手持M1巴祖卡，攝於1943年

巴祖卡(Bazooka)是第二次世界大戰中美國陸軍使用的單兵肩扛式火箭發射器的綽號。巴祖卡是第一代實戰用的單兵反坦克武器。巴祖卡使用固體火箭作為推進器，彈頭分為高爆(HE)和高爆反坦克(HEAT)彈頭，能夠有效對付裝甲車以及諸如機槍碉堡一類的防禦工事，射程遠超出手榴彈的投擲範圍。因為其管狀外形類似於一種名叫巴祖卡的喇叭狀樂器（鮑勃·伯恩斯在20世紀30年代發明並推廣）而得名。

在第二次世界大戰中，德軍在北非戰場中繳獲若干巴祖卡火箭筒，他們馬上就發現了巴祖卡在戰場上的作用並開始著手仿製。^[1]德國設計師將彈頭直徑增加到88毫米（還有一些小的改動）並在德軍中推廣使用，這種武器被稱作坦克殺手(Panzerschreck)。

At other times, cultural expectations and personal preferences reinforce each other. The hope that a wild session might “reveal new things about myself” or “allow me to act completely out of character” is widely echoed in literature, pop culture and drinking lore. If the research is a guide, those hopes should be self-fulfilling at some level.
Unless, that is, the binge goes beyond any reasonable definition of excess. Then the amount of tequila consumed matters very much — and poison is poison in any culture.
